Psalm 87:2-4
New International Version - UK

2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion
    more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are said of you,
    city of God:[a]
4 ‘I will record Rahab[b] and Babylon
    among those who acknowledge me –
Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush[c] –
    and will say, “This one was born in Zion.”’[d]
